Be The Change

So the weekend is just in and we’re sure many of you would be refilling your groceries and restacking other things at home. The question is, how many of you carry your own shopping bags during this refilling activity?

SPAR, one of our sales partners, has a global initiative to reduce plastic as part of which they request the customers to carry their own shopping bags. Many of you visiting SPAR post August must have noticed signboards announcing this initiative at various SPAR outlets. Even the bags they do give out to customers who don’t carry their own shopping bags are completely biodegradable. All in an effort to help the planet by reducing plastic waste.

And that’s what ProNature believes in too. Doing our bit to the extent we all can in order to help the planet. Today there are certainly places where the use of plastic has become unavoidable whether one likes it or not. For instance, in packaging. As much as efforts are on to manufacture transparent, insect resistant and eco-friendly packaging material, so far science and technology have not succeeded. The efforts continue relentlessly but meanwhile, let us all contribute in any way we can to reduce the usage of plastic and to lead a more eco-friendly lifestyle.

And in that vein, we would like to extend this request to all of you to carry your own shopping bags the next time you go shopping…be it for groceries of anything else. Can the good old cloth ‘thaila’ be brought back? If we did get plastic bags the last time we went shopping, can we reuse them this time? Let’s try to reduce and reuse plastic as much as we can. Let’s be the change we want to see and do our bit for the planet.

It would make us really happy if we are able to encourage you to bring your ProNature goodies home in your own bags the next time you go shopping! Have a good week ahead.
